REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the School Committee of Wayland :


The thirty-first report in the series of Union Super- intendents of Schools of this Supervisory District is herewith submitted. It is my eighteenth report.


General Comment


The number of students attending Wayland High School has increased to the point that numbers are too great for the housing facilities. The use of the labora- tory, a room that is poorly suited for even small classes in Science, to care for large groups is highly undesirable. Another teacher should be employed. More floor space for the High School can be provided only by adding an- other very poor room for service in the attic which is already furnishing two rooms.


You will note that the cost of transportation is near the seven thousand dollar mark for 1927. There seems to be no solution of the problem as to increasing this ex- pense under existing conditions. Two heavily loaded busses serve to transport the High School children from Cochituate to Wayland. There is every prospect at pres- ent that September will present the Town with further transportation expense from Cochituate to Wayland. We shall not be able to care for them in two busses.


For three years we have not been obliged to main- tain the bus service to the Lokerville District. The cur- rent school year, small children on Rice Road have made it imperative that the service be restored to this District. There are also seven High School girls in this section as well as several boys. The former half past eight bus of the Boston & Middlesex Street Railway Company that has served the children of the first three grades in the vicinity of Fiske Corner cannot be brought back for this service. Consequently the parents of this district right- fully asked for some solution of their transportation


148


problem. During the fall the people of these districts have cared for themselves. Our funds were not sufficient to serve them. Beginning January 3, 1928, Mr. Fergu- son has been employed to make a trip in the morning to Rice Road, through School Street to Fiske Corner, thus serving these districts. The Fiske Corner children are cared for by public conveyance at night and Mr. Fergu- son takes the High School and Rice Road children of Grammar School age home.


Our transportation expenses for 1928 figured on present routes, same number of trips, and current rates amount to $7,110.00.


At one time there were no children in the vicinity of Old Stone Bridge. There are a number there at present. For three years were were not obliged to maintain trans- portation to this section and a portion of Old Connecticut Path. The children of this district formerly attended the Wayland Center Grammar School. At present Mr. Ferguson is transporting from Old Stone Bridge Road district and that portion of Precinct One-bordering Old Connecticut Path-lying southerly from the estate of Mr. Thomas Irving, 38 children. Children of the first three grades at Richardson Corner are added to his num- ber. These children are cared for on the return trip from High School in the morning and by a special trip at night. The cost is approximately one-half the cost were the children of this section taken to Wayland Grammar School as in previous years.


The School Committee has full power to determine routes of transportation, proper distances for children to walk, and the type of conveyance. The School Committee is obliged, however, to settle some of these matters in the light of funds available for the purpose, the wishes of the citizens, and legal requirements. The School Com- mittee may believe that Wayland is overtransporting children, but if the Town wishes to transport even more extensively than at present and provides the funds, to so act becomes all but mandatory.


The Center Grammar School presents the Town with another problem as to numbers.


Room One has an enrollment of 26 children in the first grade. This is a sufficient number for one teacher. We now require this ONE teacher to instruct a second grade of 15 pupils. Two of the other three rooms of the


149


school have a sufficient enrollment for two grade rooms to cause anxiety as to accomplishment therein.


We should bear in mind that already we are divert- ing 38 children from this school to the Cochituate School.


Cochituate Grammar School presents a nearby prob- lem as to numbers. We may be able to care for the chil- dren another school year in seven rooms. The "may" is somewhat conditional. We cannot do so should there be any considerable increase in school population through change of families thus bringing us children not now in the district. Twenty sittings distribkuted in seven rooms is a small number. Some of the rooms already have the limit as to seats that can be placed therein. One room has cared for six first grade children and the second grade this year. One room cares for the fourth grade and a portion of the fifth grade, while another room offers sittings and work to the other section of the fifth grade and the sixth grade. The seventh grade does not fill a room. The seventh grade teacher has assisted in the work of rooms four, five, and seven.


Our High School graduates are giving a good ac- count of themselves in college and in business.


The girls of the High School who are not interested in commercial courses and who are not fitting for college or normal school have an opportunity to elect courses in household arts. We are thus providing work for types of young women who find certain purely scholastic sub- jects uninteresting or impossible.


No provision is made for the young men who are practical minded rather than theoretical minded.


Principal Allen's report should be read with much care. We are of necessity sending to the High School each year students who cannot do well in all subjects, some who should not enter High School, and some who might do very well in the work were they so minded or if the home stressed more vigorously hours for study. Principal Allen and our High School teachers need and desire a very careful study of this matter, but our boys and girls are much more needy in this respect, all of them.


A few children come to the High School hour, pro- moted year by year regularly, or possibly through a dou- ble promotion, too immature for the work. Their years may be sufficient but they have not made that growth


150


that gives them the power of concentration required to labor successfully with the scholastic problems that must be presented in High School courses. They may not have gained the endurance to stand the strain of more hours of intent concentration, the ability to concentrate being exhausted before the end of a recitation period, or more likely so exhausted at the end of the day that home study is futile.


This group may be cared for by taking another year or two in the Grammar School. To do so means often- times great disappointment to the boy or girl and to the family. There should be no galling pride that pre- vents family, school, and child from doing that which is best for the child. The home and school should consult earnestly and sympathetically in such cases and prepare the boy or girl for the right way.


Another group that presents a problem to the High School is a group that can do some work very well and other lines not at all well. This group wishes to gradu- ate from High School. Maturity has come. Often the failures cause resentment toward the teachers and school and destroys the will to do well the things that can be done.


The group that nature has given other powers than scholastic abilities and that should not enter our type of High School, is our greatest problem. This group is usually very mature socially and must have the social atmosphere of the High School age. Otherwise they are a social misfit and a hindrance to themselves and to others, a greater hindrance in this way than they are educationally when properly placed socially in school.


There is little doubt but that this last group should go to work or seek some particular school suited to each individual's needs. Family pride and disappointment are hard to bear but the interest of the boy or girl can be best served by such a course. Some of this group are not ready physically for the daily round of labor, or suffi- ciently well grounded in the need of bearing responsi- bility to warrant their employment. If some school is not provided for them, it is my opinion that they are far better off in our High School, burden though they may be to the work of other High School students, than on the street unoccupied.


This problem of successful students in the High


151


School is not peculiar to Wayland. It is not alone for the small school. Some of the larger centers have the problem in even greater proportion.


In order to determine who may hope to be success- ful in High School, systems of examination may be used. Some of the larger centers allow doubtful students to try High School for one ranking period, the one on trial to return to the grades if unsuccessful at the close of the trial period. Both plans have favorable and unfavor- able features.


With the number of students crowding the High School, with our great transportation question before us, it seems reasonable to devise some method whereby we may justly, gently and satisfactorily adjust this matter and thus send fewer students to our High School con- cerning whose success there is great doubt.


Club work for the boys and girls of the Cochituate School is carried on through the good offices of Mrs. Mar- garet Fiske and Principal Mary Kerr. It is successful. Club work in the Center district has been provided through the services of Miss Janie Foster. The current year Mrs. Richard Ames has given her services to the girls with marked success. The boys have had the ser- vices of Mr. H. W. Stanton. Mr. Stanton comes to us through Mr. Erickson, County Club Leader.


Recommendations


We should employ an assistant for the teacher of the first and second grades in the Center Grammar School at an early date.


A man should be employed in connection with the High School to offer vocational courses to groups needing this work, to replace undesirable courses for them and also to offer courses of a more practical nature than can be given to regular classes. The employment of more teachers in the High School makes it possible to offer both minimum and maximum work in English, Math- ematics, and Science. Those taking the minimum work will of course be those who find vocational work better suited to their natures.


Lockers and a shower should be provided the High School.


We should expect to open the unused room in the Cochituate School in September should it be necessary. This will call for equipment, shades, furniture-and sal-


152


ary of a teacher.


In view of the housing needs of both High School and grades an early study of school housing should be made.


A study of surface water at the Cochituate School and its disposal should be made. This appears to me to demand joint action of School Committee and Se- lectmen, or a committee appointed for each study.


The halls and some rooms at the Center building call for wall and woodwork repairs. Electric lighting should be made possible in four more rooms. The walls to basement entrances should be relaid in part and point- ed up. Many new shades are desirable.


Outside woodwork at the Cochituate School should be painted. The walls, ceilings and wood work in the rooms of the original building need re-dressing. The building has now been in use nearly seventeen years. Rooms have not been renovated during this time. The shades have been in service for seventeen years without a single renewal. They are very tender. It is probable that all of those in the front of the building must be re- placed during this fiscal year.


A considerable sum is therefore needed for repairs this year.


Should a bulkhead be constructed into the boiler room at the Center building we should have a consider- able reduction in the cost of removal of ashes.


Dental service and physical training are subjects of very great importance to school children. We may well consider establishment of some service along these lines in the school.


Your attention is directed to the usual statistics, the reports of the Nurse and School Physician.

In my report to you for last year, I estimated that the maximum enrollment for this year would be 105 stu- dents and that the enrollment for next year would be 130 students. The estimate for this was nearly correct, and probably the one for next year will also be fairly close. At present all of the rooms are in use and, with 30 more students enrolled, the school rooms will be crowded. For the past two years I have had to assign classes to the laboratory, a poor room on the third floor that was never intended for any school use except laboratory work for small classes. This year sections as large as 35 students have had to study in this room. Next year I expect to find quite a problem to adjust the necessary classes to the rooms that we have.


Again I wish to point out that students are entering High School who are unable to do the work of the college course or the commercial course. Our present general course is made up of subjects offered in the college and the commercial courses, the only difference being in the


154


subjects required for graduation. If a student is to graduate, he must obtain 75 credits in these subjects. At present there are many students in the freshman class who have failed to do the work. These students have failed from the first. I could see that they would fail for the rest of the year, but I have had to keep them in classes. In larger schools, these poor students would all be taken out of these classes at the mid-year and put in new classes to repeat the work. I cannot do this because I do not have the necessary teachers or rooms, so the poor students drag along with the class to the end. This makes a very hard task for the teacher and prevents the good student from doing the work that he should do.


The students of good ability who come to High School are able to do the work outlined. The poorer stu- dents need much easier work than is being offered. If the work should be made easy enough for the poor stu- dents, the course would require five or six years instead of four as it does at present. Most of the poor students who come to High School, come on because they have reachd the eighth grade, and are being moved along to give place to another eighth grade. If these students re- mained in the eighth grade they would, no doubt, cause trouble. Perhaps they should not repeat the work with the new eighth grade, but they are not ready for the High School and should not enter. These students should be given work to prepare them for the High School; they should not be admitted to High School and put in classes with students who have done good work in the grades, and who can do the High School work.


The higher institutions are demanding yearly a bet- ter preparation for their work. The High Schools cannot meet this demand unless the students who come are ready for High School work. If the school is to send out students who can meet the requirements of the college and business, we shall have to keep a high standard. This means that we cannot admit students who are not pre- pared. If it is understood that the school is not supposed to meet any requirements, we can lower the standards that we now have, and do such work as we can with stu- dents who come. Under this plan the student of good ability will not get the work he should have.


As it is, a student who has graduated from the grades is kept in High School as long as he attends, even though


155


he does not pass work. These students are a hindrance to class work, and should be demoted to work that they can do. after a trial of a month or two in the High School. I think that a procedure of this kind would have a very good influence upon the work of the entire school system. The grade students would make better prepara- tion in order to be able to enter High School, and the High School students would work hard in order to be able to continue the work started.


When the report cards were made out at the end of seven weeks of school work. I noticed that there were many students who were not passing in their subjects. At that time I sent a letter to every home, stating that a student could not prepare all of his work during his study periods at school: that he would require from two to three hours at home to make the necessary prepara- tion for his class work. Some homes see that the student does this home study: other homes do not give support to it. I feel that many of the poor students could do passing work if they would only give good attention in class and then would give the necessary study time to prepare the work outlined by the teacher. If the home will not insist that this home study be done the student's work will, in most cases, be low grade.


Sincerely yours, DAVID J. ALLEN

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


Cochituate, Mass., December 23, 1927.


Mr. Frank H. Benedict,


Supt., Wayland Schools,


Cochituate, Mass.


Dear Mr. Benedict :


I herewith submit to you my third report as Physi- cian of Wayland Schools.


Whole number of children examined 450


Of this number 137 had enlarged tonsils and most of these had symptoms of adenoids also; 32 had enlarged glands, one of which was in a state of suppuration; 104 had carious and 60 dirty teeth.


I recorded 19 who had poor posture. There was one case of granular lids, 3 heart defects, one cleft palate, 4 post-infantile muscular atrophies, one internal strabis- mus, one with pupils unequal, and one with enlarged thy- roid gland.


I again call to your attention the necessity of a par- tial repetition of former years. Of this large number of abnormal tonsils, some should receive immediate atten- tion, others may be delayed to some convenient time in the near future, while others probably never will cause the child any particular trouble. I am particular to re- port all that are in any way noticeable, as a means of getting the parents to consult their family physician for further advice. Mrs. McNeil follows up the bad cases by home visits.


Of the large number of glands very few will need any local attention if the tonsils and adenoids are prop- erly cared for.


Carious teeth are altogether too numerous and dirty ones show neglect on the part of both parent and child. The dark line next to the gum is not the fault of the child as it can be removed only with dental aid.


157


The number of poor postures recorded is really alto- gether too few. A more extended examination, using the Bancroft Triple Test, would no doubt reveal a larger number. More attention to this in regard to proper train- ing would I believe be money well spent.


I again this year paid particular attention to the prospective football candidates.


I think practically all students in the schools have complied with the State Law in regard to vaccination, and probably before this report reaches the printer a large percentage of them will have received toxin-anti- toxin inoculations.


The Wayland District Nursing Association held a pre-school clinic during the summer which was very suc- cessfully arranged for and carried out by Mrs. McNeil, who has since coming here given her best efforts to all preventable-medical projects.


If something could be done by the school in addition to that which has already been started by some of our loyal District Nursing Association members to promote dental care it would be one more move in the right direc- tion.


Once more I wish to thank you for your support in this work, the teachers for their co-operation, the School Nurse for the aid she has so faithfully rendered, and es- pecially the children for their interest in trying to im- prove their defects whenever it is possible for them to do so.


Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools :


I hereby submit my seventh annual report for the year ending December 31, 1927.


The morning hours as heretofore were spent in the Wayland and Cochituate school buildings unless some emergency arose. All the pupils were weighed and meas- ured three times during the year, and the underweights every six weeks. The sight and hearing tests were given during the Fall term.


Dr. Sparks was assisted in making the yearly physi- cal examination of the school children.


In June a physician from the State Dept. of Public Health conducted a clinic for the re-examination of un- derweight children, at which I assisted.


Two successful tonsil and adenoid clinics were con- ducted in July and November. These clinics are made possible by the financial assistance of the Wayland Dis- trict Nursing Association.


Plans are now under way whereby it is hoped that the immunization for diphtheria will be made a perma- nent part of the School Health program.
